A detailed stag beetle against a vibrant background of colorful dots and organic patterns, with a color palette and text labels on the side and top.

🪲 Page 2: Close-Up Insect Study – Inspired by Ernst Haeckel & Yayoi Kusama 🎯 Main Idea Draw a close-up stag beetle combining both artists’ styles. Haeckel: Realistic detail, symmetry, and structure. Kusama: Bright colors, dots, and repeating patterns. ✏️ Steps Draw the beetle in the middle of the page — focus on detail, shape, and reflection. Add color and patterns around or inside it (Kusama style – colorful dots and shapes). Do color tests on the side (3–4 boxes): label them “warm,” “cool,” and “pattern test.” Annotate: This insect was inspired by Haeckel’s realistic style and Kusama’s bold color patterns. I used symmetry and repetition to mix both styles. ✅ Summary Area What to Draw Artist Connection Center Realistic close-up stag beetle Ernst Haeckel Background Bright colors & dots Yayoi Kusama Corner Color test boxes Creative Cycle Notes Reflection & annotation Self-evaluation See more
